[iBook] Display problems with iBook G3

[Howard Pettigrew]

Robin, IMHO, I wouldn't go near those computer guys if that is there  
understanding of this problem! Have your tried a VGA adaptor and an  
external monitor? If it is happy on the external monitor, then you  
know it is the video backlight cable problem. Just a thought
